Exponential 6.0.13 Now Available

• New Template String Operators — rstring, ristring, str_pad, wordwrap, chunk_split, number_format, sprintf wrappers and more are now available directly in Exponential templates.

Shortly after the rebrand of eZ Publish trademarked resourced on 7x web properties to Exponential the development of the third release of EB 2.4.0.2 (major update; minor upgrade) was finished PHP 8.4/8.5 support and fixed almost all previous bugs.

We at team 7x are very happy with this new release as it includes a lot of major under the hood improvements to help expand and modernize the core cms features in code and framework.

This is a serious labor of love. This package represents the extended life of a product / framework that launched the programing careers of so very many individuals.

We love Exponential Basic and take care to ensure it's continued use. Join us? Won't you? Download Exponential Basic today!

This project uses the remains of the abandoned eZ Publish Platform Software Stack licensed under GPLv2, when updated to php8+ support it resumes working as originally designed despite it's maturity and free and open framework cms values.

We believe in supporting users of legacy software stacks as first class citizens where user freedoms are exalted above the corporate desire to bind users to costly purchases just to use the core product.

Notable Changes (Since Exponential Platform Legacy 2.5.0.1 for PHP 8):
   Updated: Rebranding package UI assets from eZ Platform to Exponential Platform. Updated / Replaced Logos used within AdminUI.
       Task name before, "Replacing most front facing branding of text string, 'eZ Platform', 'ezplatform' from the user facing displays in code and templates."
   Updated: Bugfix to core distribution app/config/config.yml and composer.json rules which fix content tree browse feature in AdminUI.
